Repeating crossbows, version 8 (beta)

[Osma77]

While progress seems to be made, i am sad to report that repeating crossbows are still buggy as an ant farm. On the first quest i tried - the new seige one - my icy bursted metaline repeating crossbow of pure good worked just fine, blasting foes apart 3 shots at a time. Once i got inside the new mine quest, it went back to 1-2 shots. The third shot didn't disapear, it never fired. When 3 shots fire, i get click, click, click/clank. In this mine, in the harbor, and in the final quest, my main weapon consistantly either did click/clank, or click, click/clank. almost never all 3 shots. Suprisingly, when i switched to another weapon (wounding heavy repeater) it worked fine on that weapon, but switching back didnt help.

Were those light or heavy repeaters? I seem to recall a thread earlier in the week talking about lights still being busted.

[Osma77]

actually, it was the other way around. The xbow that started off working fine, then didnt seem to work at all (1-2 shots) was my heavy repeater, while the one that worked much more consistantly (at least for the last quest) was a light wounder of shatermantle.

I came up witht he same results, there is no patern to it. It seems to be a code error.

Hmm....I'll have to do some testing myself on this. I'm still seeing some list shots ever now and then on Live, but it's much less frequent. This sounds like a completely different kind of bug.

From what I can see the issue is with both light and heavy repeaters. For the most part, standing still and shooting at an unmoving target, the shots go off as expected. If I circle the target (jumping and circling just for fun), I'm not seeing any reliable missed shots. But once I start tumbling and then stop I can see the issue more reliably. The number of shots will go down to 2, then 1, then 2, and maybe back down to 1, another 2, then eventually gets back to 3.

For those of you seeing this issue, do you tend to tumble often?
